MABS

MABS combines the properties of PMMA and ABS and offers good transparency and high toughness, making it suitable for applications where appearance and mechanical resistance are important.

MABS: Terlux

KEY BENEFITS:
  • PMMA/ABS blend, which combines the good properties of both materials
  • very tough
LIMITATIONS:
  • less transparent than PMMA

 

Typical applications

Medical devices and diagnostics (HD classes)

Special medical types are often used due to their sterilization options (with gamma rays, ETO or NO2) and chemical resistance.

  • Infusion systems: fittings, valves, foot valves and pipe couplings.
  • Diagnostic equipment: laboratory apparatus housings and test tubes.
  • Respiratory gas humidifiers: water tanks inside medical ventilators.

Cosmetic packaging and design

Due to its excellent surface quality, high gloss and the ability to create deep color or glitter effects, the material is extremely popular in luxury packaging.

  • Lipstick packaging and makeup.
  • Caps for perfume bottles.
  • Cosmetic containers with thick walls that mimic the look of glass.

Household and food contact products

Standard types have food contact certifications while offering high rigidity and scratch resistance.

  • Food storage containers and mixing bowls.
  • Coffee machine parts: water tanks and transparent openings.
  • Strainers and jugs for water.

Electronics housings and consumer products

When a device requires a durable housing through which LEDs or internal components must be visible, MABS is the ideal choice.

  • Transparent housings consumer electronics.
  • Screens and buttons on household appliances.

Toys, sports and leisure

High impact strength ensures that products do not shatter into sharp fragments when dropped or hit.

  • High-quality transparent toys and dice.
  • Sports equipment (e.g. parts of safety glasses or visors)
